In SA do you HAVE to inform someone that a conversation is being voice recorded or ask their permission for you to be able to utilize the evidence in a Labour Matter at the CCMA or Labour Court?

Lawyer's Assistant: What state is this in? And can you tell me a little more about the charge?

This is in Gauteng, it's a long story but I'll try and be concise.

MY line manager was ill treating myself and my team and I commenced the grievance process; I have since been made out to be a liar an dismissed for dishonesty and insubordination; i have recordings can I use them?

I hope this answered your question.
